Desktop can't connect via to network Sunday, June 6, 2010 at 4:25 pm Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by kait (70 messages posted) My son's computer will not connect to our wireless network. A direct cable connection works just fine, but not the wireless. It used to work, but then suddenly quit. It is a Gateway that is not yet 1 year old. I took it in for repairs because previously even the cable connection wouldn't work. They said they got both the cable and the wireless working. We have a Netgear router. The computer used a Netgear wireless USB adapter. I thought the problem might be with that adapter since the light didn't stay on, but kept blinking, so I unstalled that adapter and tried to install a linksys adapter we used to use when we had a linksys router. I can't get that to install correctly. It installs, but then I get a message saying that it was not installed correctly. I would love to get this fixed for my son since he's coming home in a couple days after having been at boot camp for the last 5 months!
